GlennyFox55 Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 Sorry i probably didn't make it clear i meant do season ticket holders get priority for any extra season tickets. I want to relocate to sk1 next season but my old man doesn't so its getting another season for a friend/family to go with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 Overall I was very impressed with the club how they didn't make the Season Tickets any more expensive in our first season in the Premier League. I'd understand if they made them more expensive now in the upcoming season but maybe not considering the TV money coming into the club, plus the fact probably another 10k fans (approx) in the ground on matchdays next season if expansion goes ahead.

Babylon Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 Think it's silly to expect us to pay less for this amazing entertainment I'd be more than happy to pay 5% more and make sure the casual match day staff are all paid a living wage More staff on match days and pay them a living wage and id be happy to pay 5% more Supporters are a little bit hypocritical at times we want to fight for cheaper everything but in reality we should be fighting for a fairer process for all involved with delivering our match day entertainment. The club are on course for earning an extra £30m + this year alone, before the new deal has even kicked in. Next year it will be even more!! They have some employees earning £80k a week and the owners are billionaires... and you think it's right to make fans pay more so that everyone is paid the living wage. Are you fecking insane?

No, season ticket holders don't get a chance to buy additional season tickets. Any availability will go to members in order of highest priority. Gold and family members then downwards. I can't imagine this will get anywhere near to general sale and possibly not even some members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAULCFC Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 If you pay by DD,then the last payment for this season comes out of the bank account on the 31'st of March,so i'm led to believe.Then it keeps rolling for next season.If it goes up i'd assume the club will have to let you know due to the DD gaurantee.Was talking about this the other night with my Tigers supporting friends and they get just the Premiership and have to pay extra for the european games,but seats are saved for a couple of weeks at home.Away it'll be the same as we use for aways,with alot more travelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 So what do we reckon? Last year the letters came out at the end of March (just before "the run"), and prices were frozen most likely because everyone expected us to be playing in the Championship. Things are very different this year. A price increase would probably seem justified, but how much would be fair? Or, on the other side of the coin, the huge new TV deal could mean that the club could afford to freeze, or even reduce ticket prices? Which way do you think it will go? A price increase would not be justified, as shearer said at the weekend, about the Liverpool thing, clubs cannot justify increases, as club next season are getting the new bumper TV deal.So for me, another freeze would be fair.

Not at all insane , I think our prices are fantastic value , Vardy should be on 120k a week , the owners wealth isn't my business or yours I'd love to see us pay £10 an hour minimum to match day staff and increase staff Supporters always want the best deal , well we have had it for a long time now , a small increase of say 5% would be very fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for me, another freeze would be fair. Fair is about give and take , We have had freezes , the owners have been very fair , a very small increase for me would be fair. We need to improve the squad , our wage bill is going to explode , The facilities need revamping , and maybe expansion is needed It's funny it's "our" club but "they" must pay for everything They being owners I don't want the club to stop improving and if small increases keep the on and off field business improving then a small increase seems fair to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the big scale of things, a 5 percent increase will generate very little income, in comparison to the above, but to fans, it could make all the difference.

Can I ask how old you are exactly, because the price of tickets has gone up well beyond the rate of inflation since I started going. It used to be anyone could go no matter what their background, now many many people are totally priced out. When ticket money is a drop in the ocean of a clubs turnover, it's a fecking disgrace to keep putting up prices at the rate they do... the money isn't needed, end of story. No other country charges such extortionate rates for tickets. You can pay people £10 an hour out of the TV money, that's the whole bloody point. The fans shouldn't be asked to cough up for it when the money is there. "Supporters always want the best deal, well we have had it for a long time now" well that confirms it... you are off your head.

Viva Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 I hope those stating they'd be happy to pay more realise that for some people that's simply not viable. I think if people are cutting their finances so tight that they can't afford a £20 increase per year, then maybe they should consider whether a season ticket is right for them at the moment anyway.

Babylon Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 Fair is about give and take , We have had freezes , the owners have been very fair , a very small increase for me would be fair. That's not give and take, that's... take and not take (until a year later). We need to improve the squad , our wage bill is going to explode , The facilities need revamping , and maybe expansion is needed If you sold 32,000 season tickets it would only be about £14m at say £450 each on average. With the position we'll finish in, the extra TV money, other sponsorship etc etc it's a total drop in the ocean. You could take £25 off each of the 32,000 season tickets and it would cost under £1m Very rough numbers obviously... but when total turn over next year goes through the roof, it's nothing. It's funny it's "our" club but "they" must pay for everything They being owners "They" won't be paying for anything, the TV money pays for pretty much everything. I don't want the club to stop improving and if small increases keep the on and off field business improving then a small increase seems fair to me A small increase won't do anything, an extra 5% on gate receipts is nothing. It will mean Vardy and friends will have to earn about £7.96 a minute rather than £8 a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxybluefox Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 Come on city board freeze the prices and show the other PL clubs that lcfc set the standard that all the clubs should follow after the BIG tv money deal.well done to the liverpool fans for walking out after 77 mins.

Babylon Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 Who could complain if there was a modest increase next season? Normal people? Just because we're having a good season it now seems acceptable that we should pay more, it's bizarre. There is ZERO reasons for the club to charge us more money other than pure greed, it's just not needed. We're not in the championship scraping by, we're highly likely to be in europe... an even bigger pay day for the club. It seems to have become the total norm for people to just stand back and accept above inflation price increases, whilst footballers take home £300k a week.

I think people for whom football is often their only social outlet away from the world of work etc deserve to be treated with a bit more respect by the club they've supported through thick and thin (and their fellow supporters too!).

Yes footballers have the skills that we pay to watch. They deserve to get the big bucks. The quality of football we are seeing now compared to a few years ago completely justified modest price rises.
